Not to belabor the obvious, but Verizon Wireless and Verizon are
different companies with different management and separate
infrastructure.  VZW is a joint venture between VZ and Vodaphone.

VZW recently confirmed that their mail system is separate from VZ's,
and whatever mistakes they may make, they're not VZ's.
